A SIGN OF THE TIMES ~ DRY STONE WALLS ~ REPLACED BY BARBED WIRE !
A WALL OF PENNINE STONE I SEE
A rough hewn WALL of quarried STONE
Reminds us how things used to be
By Horse & Cart from quarry borne !
A rough hewn WALL of quarried STONE
Such sturdy WALLS they used to build
By Horse & Cart from quarry borne
Unnamed Stone Masons ~ rural skills !
Such sturdy WALLS they used to build
WALLS that lasted cent*ries long
Unnamed Stone Masons ~ rural skills
These WALLS still ring with Hist*rys Song !
WALLS that lasted cent*ries long
But now replaced by WIRE BARBED
These WALLS still ring with Hist*rys Song
Replaced by FENCE that has no CHARM !
But now replaced by WIRE BARBED
Reminds us how things used to be
Replaced by FENCE that has no charm
A WALL OF PENNINE STONE I SEE !
Thanks for your visit ~ comments welcome ~ LOVE ~ A & B ๐งก๐๐งก๐
REPETITION is important in Spoken Poetry so the PANTOUM style of
Poetry was developed in which each 2nd & 4th line in the QUATRAIN
becomes the 1st & 3rd line in the subsequent verse ! In order that lines
ONE & THREE in verse ONE are repeated ~ Line 3 (V1) becomes line 2
in the Final Verse and Line 1 (V1) becomes line 4 ! So the PANTOUM
ends where it began ! Pantoums can have as many QUATRAINS as one
wishes ! This POEM can be sung as a FOLK SONG ~ Rt Hand on Rt EAR !
